MAPPING

Welcome everyone...you are embarking upon a journey and you pack every thing...except a map w/landmarks. Will you get there? Maybe? Why take a chance? If you are serious, You want results via efficient workout schedule. I'm guessing now, but I would estimate 8 out of 10 don't take the time to write out a plan. Yes, they check off each drill and that's it. Everyone needs a purpose, efficiency and results. Define your reason for working out, time spent on each drill. It's much more than knowing how to count to 10. Put your tech equipment in the duffel bag. If you are working out just for rec, you can bypass the above...then any kind of motion is good. I always advise a workout partner. I enjoy working out...it's rewarding...not a punishment. Next week...drills I don't advise. Website update...www.secondwindfitnessfilm.com

PLYO!

Welcome everyone...my workouts since 2003 for 10 months of the year are 2 hours long...the other 2 months for 1 hour long. In addition from 10/07 to 5/15 I conducted 15 fitness classes each week, w/3 devoted to men and women physically/mentally challenged. So, I have lived what I "preach." I owe a lot to plyometrics. I gained speed, balance, endurance, mental alertness.
When one gains the next level of alertness, you climb to the next level in every facet of skill needed to accomplish your goals. You reach Peak Performance! That's human nature. In my tutoring, I tell my clients not to worry about weight lifting so much. Muscle will come soon enough...Unless that's all you want. Careful about being
muscle bound. That will restrict all your other activities. Give Plyo a chance for 30 days, 3x a week and then feel the results.

CHISELED/cut

Welcome everyone...much of society covers up what they don't want the public to see. That would be the tummy and wrinkles for the most part. Translation..."hide and seek." To be transparent, takes passion, dedication and anger. By the way, women have the edge over men in getting chiseled. The tummy...I'm not a fan of sit ups and crunches...that only rolls the fat. Tighten that stomach first. Start with laying flat on your stomach w/elbows parallel too shoulders and push up off your elbows and toes. Keep your butt and back level. Hold for count of 20 or 30. 10 sets. Next move elbows forward 3/4 inches. Repeat same as above. Next move elbows another couple of inches and repeat the above. Next, on your back, legs together and straight and raise to a 45 degree and upper body up and reach out and touch your toes (or as far as you can) and hold for count of 20. 10 sets. Next, staying on your back, holding an 8 lb. med. ball, legs straight out and together, hold med. ball straight up from your forehead, raise your upper body to a 45 degree and KEEPING the ball above your head...that's the KEY. 20 sets. Next week...another 3. www.secondwindfitnessfilm.com.

MAKESHIFT

Welcome and Happy Easter...how does one get from point A to point B? Over the past 100 years that path has been zig zag. There are 100's of exercises, "machines" methods to achieve, coaching styles and then add supplements and on top of all that, add the billions of dollars spent on adds. About 10% of the above actually work. The word game, packaging, pics showing "false" results. The billions spent on all of the above, it's estimated only 17% is used. Just in home purchases of "machinery" alone, 85% stands idle collecting cobwebs and dust. 27% of purchases remain in the box, never opened. So much for intent. Let's go back 100 years. Men and women made their own. For starters, rocks, leather straps, blacksmith's designed weights. Many of  today's  track and field events did not exist. In the early days working out, weight  (heavy)lifting racing was forbidden for women. Today women are more tuned into working out, getting and staying in shape than men. In my fitness classes women out number men by 10 to 1. We need to get back to designing some of our own methods and ways of getting results. Research before you buy. Next blog...getting cut w/
makeshift equip. www.secondwindfitnessfilm.com.
